Siblings Cohort Analysis 2020

28 June 2021

What is the best statistic to know which school is “best”?

We have been scratching our head over this, and finally, maybe, we have an answer.

We assumed parents who have children currently studying in the school know the school best, therefore they are the best person to make a good decision for the sibling.

Parents would send the sibling to the same school, if the school is good (and not send, if it is bad).

Hence we did the following analysis of school cohort (estimated population from P1 to P6) and the siblings who have took up a spot during Phase 1 in 2020. The higher the % would mean more parents want the sibling to go into the same school.

To be coherent with the analysis, we divided into 3 types of schools:

  1. Girls/Boys schools
  2. New schools
  3. The rest

The top schools in (3) are Xishan, Lianhua, Princess Elizabeth, Rulang, Eunos… This list is quite unlike the usual top schools. We hope it can bring you a new perspective. 🤓
